Correct, but I'm not really sure if it worth worrying about x86 missing this, furthermore it would still be possible to enable it on the very x86 low end (with regular 4k page size) that may worry to use up to the last byte of ram as cache for tiny files. To me using kmalloc for this looks quite ideal.
